On-Campus Events

Preview Days

Preview days are a great opportunity to get to know Ringling College from the people who know it best - our students and faculty. You'll have the opportunity to explore our majors, check out the campus, learn how to prepare your portfolio, and much more. Check back for details about our next event to be held in the fall of 2015.

Off-Campus Events

"Discover Ringling" Info Sessions

Discover Ringling events are special information sessions for prospective students. You'll learn about Ringling’s majors, careers in art and design, how to apply, and how to create, edit and submit your portfolio.

We will discuss the application process and share tips on portfolio preparation using examples submitted by high school students. Individual portfolio reviews will not be available at these events. RSVP is required. Check back for upcoming events.

National Portfolio Days provide opportunities for students who are interested in studying art or design to meet with representatives from NASAD-accredited colleges from throughout North America. They are held in major cities each academic year, beginning in September and ending in January. All are free and open to the public. RSVP is not required.
